All seemed OK until today I noticed the left rear brake hanging up. It was really hot and when I went to move the truck, it made a heck of a sound. I thought maybe it was the hand brake, but everything there was free. After some tinkering around with it, the brake seemed to release and I was able to drive home.
My first thought was to pull the drum and inspect the mechanism inside, but I remembered that there appears tp be a dent in the steel line to the rear of the truck. Could this have anything to do with it? Possibly both problems?
